Can petechiae grow bigger than two millimetres? mine are almost a centimetre big and are slightly risen. i've had leukaemia before, is it back?

Warning: Description of rash sounds like purpurae (similar to petichiae, but larger and sometimes from coalescing petichiae). With history of leukemia, it is time to let your physician know right away.
